What I would like is some input on turning one of these plastic tubs into a
geopraphic pond/tank for my swords and platies. I guess the environment
would be the Mexican Yucatan. What water conditions, plants and fish
(besides X hellerii, maculatus and variatus are prevalent)?
The second tub will be an Indian/Nepali drainage canal/paddy minus the raw
sewage, holy cows and homeless indiginents. Here I intend to place some C
lalia, C sota and add some plants native to the area. Luckily, I'm now
located closer to the Boso Penninsula and our average temperature in winter
is 10C warmer on average due to the Kuroshio current coming from the
Philippines.
Lastly, I'm looking into creating a tank suitable for B unimaculata. If
anyone has been to Malaysia or has done a Malaysian stream tank please
provide some info as to what plants and fish are compatible.
